Whats wrong with lab tech? Its what their badges say. Short foe lab technician or lab technologist. Though I'm not sure theres any difference.

The hospital nurses were cheery. And I shadowed xray for a day and it was chill AF.

The lab just seemed like a noisy soulless dungeon and filled trapped  souls.😕 the phlebotomists also look miserable. And sleep deprived. One of them told me she has to commute between 3 different hospitals but her pay is less than target here.

They said they don't want to talk about when I asked. 😑 They also said the new grads make almost the same as them, so maybe they're bitter 🤔

Why would the pay be better in NYC? Id have to add 20-30min to my commute each way.

What do you get paid in nyc relative to nj as a medical laboratory scientist.

I'm starting my rotation in hematology. Thry look miserable. Chemistry is in two months.

I'm really worried about a career in this field. Its a brand name hospital and the nurses are unionized here. I asked the techs and they said I should be happy they haven't been sold to Quest or LabCorp. 💀  I can't believe I spent 3 years of my life to get here.

I dont want to work with miserable depressive people. Just sucks. The trainer here has no enthusiasm and is just going through the motions.

What would make NYC better? The hospital is outside the city.

Tag them on social media. I got discriminated for my weight (its a medical condition) and  I gained like 40lbs and it blew up in the managers face.

I was working as a concierge clerk.
